Technical Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first conductive portion, a second conductive portion, a first layer, and a second layer. The first conductive portion includes a first end portion and a first extending portion. The first extending portion extends in a first direction. The length of the first extending portion in a second direction is shorter than a length of at least a part of the first end portion in the second direction. The first layer includes multiple semiconductor chips, multiple passive chip components, and a resin. The first extending portion includes a first portion and a second portion. The first layer is provided around the first portion. The first layer expands along a first plane. The first plane intersects the first direction. The second layer includes a first multilayer wiring. The second layer expands along a second plane intersecting the first direction.

1. A semiconductor device comprising: a first conductive portion including a first end portion which contains a first conductive material, and a first extending portion in the form of a cylinder, the first extending portion extending in a first direction, containing the first conductive material, and being connected to the first end portion, a length of the first extending portion in a second direction being shorter than a length of at least a part of the first end portion in the second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction, the first extending portion including a first portion and a second portion, and the second portion arranged with the first portion in the first direction; a second conductive portion including a second end portion, the second end portion being separated from the first end portion in the first direction, the second end portion being electrically connected to the first extending portion, the first extending portion being provided between the first end portion and the second end portion; a first layer including multiple semiconductor chips, multiple passive chip components, and a resin, the first layer being provided around the first portion and expanding along a first plane intersecting the first direction, one of the multiple semiconductor chips having at least any of a function different from a function of another one of the multiple semiconductor chips, a shape different from a shape of the another semiconductor chip, and a size different from a size of the another semiconductor chip, and the resin being in contact with the multiple semiconductor chips and the multiple passive chip components; and a second layer including a first multilayer wiring, the first multilayer wiring electrically connected to at least one of the multiple semiconductor chips, at least one of the multiple passive chip components, and the first conductive portion, the second layer being provided around the second portion and expanding along a second plane intersecting the first direction.

2

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second portion is provided between the first portion and the first end portion.

3

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein at least a part of the first end portion does not overlap with the second layer in the second direction, and at least a part of the second end portion does not overlap with the first layer in the second direction.

4

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer includes a first insulating layer, and a thermal expansion coefficient of a first insulating material contained in the first insulating layer is higher than a thermal expansion coefficient of the resin included in the first layer.

5

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second conductive portion further includes a second extending portion extending in the first direction, the first portion is provided between the second extending portion and the first layer, the second end portion and the second extending portion contain a second conductive material, and a length of at least a part of the second end portion in the second direction is longer than a length of the second extending portion in the second direction.

6

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the second portion is provided between the second extending portion and the second layer.

7

7. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the first conductive material is different from the second conductive material.

8

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein a melting point of the first conductive material is higher than a melting point of the second conductive material.

9

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises: a third layer, which includes multiple semiconductor chips, expands along a third plane intersecting the first direction, and is separated from the first layer and the second layer in the first direction; a fourth layer, which includes a second multilayer wiring electrically connected to at least one of the multiple semiconductor chips of the third layer, expands along a fourth plane intersecting the first direction, is arranged with the third layer in the first direction, and is separated from the first layer and the second layer in the first direction; and a third conductive portion which is in contact with the fourth layer and is electrically connected to the second conductive portion.
